Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 149 Livestock
A group of people walked into the "box", and the stall owner in front of the stove, Wei Wei, wiped his oily hands on his apron and walked out eagerly.

"Uncle Hong Soldier, you haven't been here for a long time."

"I've been busy recently, so I won't take time to bring my daughter and family to the fair." Li Hongbing responded politely.

Uncle Red Soldier's Daughter!

Old Wei cast his eyes on Anna, the youngest in the crowd, grinned, and quickly tore off a corner of the couplet pasted on the tent at the door.

He then took out a bunch of loose change from his pocket, picked out the only one hundred yuan bill from it, folded it into the red couplet paper, and handed it to Anna.

"I don't have any preparations for this, just fold a red envelope for Nier, don't be disgusted with it."

Anna didn't go to pick up the red envelope, but looked at her father blankly.

Li Hongbing knew that this was a traditional custom in the countryside. It was the first time a child came to the house, and that was to give red envelopes, but this custom only existed among relatives.

In the forest area, 100 yuan in red envelopes is considered a lot of money. Although Li Hongbing didn't care about the [-] yuan, he had to accept this kind of real favor.

Patting Anna on the head, "Take it, what should I say."

Anna took the red envelope, happily put it into the satchel, and smiled sweetly at Old Wei, "Thank you brother."

Whoa!
Everyone was amused by the title of brother.

On the other hand, Old Wei was tight-lipped, "What are you laughing at, it's not wrong to call him brother, I call his father uncle, we are equals, we can't break the rules."

Everyone took a closer look, and it was really the case.

"Old Wei, don't worry about brothers and sisters, serve the food quickly, I'm so hungry."

"okay!"

Old Wei wiped his hands on the oily apron again, walked to the stove, hooked a leg of lamb in the cauldron with the iron hook, put it on the chopping board and chopped it.

Soon.

Lamb, lamb chops, lamb haggis, lamb soup, and sesame seed cakes are served on the table.

Looking at the dead sheep hanging by the stove and being bled after skinning, Anna hid in Li Hongbing's arms in fear.

"Papa, sheep and sheep are so cute, why do you want to eat sheep and sheep?"

However, this problem is quickly conquered by delicious lamb.

Anna ate the mutton with big mouthfuls, her little cheeks puffed up.

As for the bloodletting dead sheep, it had already been thrown thousands of miles away.

When everyone was eating and drinking enough, even the four wolfhounds ate their mouths with oil. Li Hongbing paid the bill, but was stopped by Sanpao, saying that he had to pay for the meal, otherwise Wei would not accept money at all. If you don’t believe me, try it. try.

The fact is true, Lao Wei refused to accept Li Hongbing's money, and after repeated concessions, San Pao finally interrupted and paid for the meal.

A group of people walked into the market.

Walking hard in the crowded crowd, surrounded by loud peddlers and buyers haggling about.

Anna was held in Li Hongbing's arms, and the big flowers followed closely beside them, staring indifferently at the stranger who wanted to approach.

In rural areas, there have been too many incidents of children being lost in the market. Many families lost their children and ended up ruined.

It is precisely because of the presence of big flowers that even if Li Hongbing's side is spacious, passers-by would not dare to move closer to him.

The appearance of the four wolfhounds is too wild, for fear of being bitten.

"Papa, I want candied haws."

"Papa, I want that sugar man."

"Papa, I want cloth tiger."

"Fuck,..."

Anna rode on Li Hongbing's neck, looked around with eyesight too weak, and when she found something novel and interesting, she would ask her father to buy it.

Li Hongbing, who is a darling girl, will naturally not refuse her daughter's request, but she will readily buy whatever Anna asks for by name.

This caused the father and daughter in the front to buy, buy, and buy, and the foolish and blind man in the back took it.

When she couldn't hold her anymore, San Pao took the two of them back to the business hall.

After repeating this several times, even an idiot who is as strong as a cow can't stand it anymore.

Shan Xing and Cui Jie shook their heads again and again.

I've seen someone who dotes on a girl, but I've never seen someone who dotes on a girl so much.

Unknowingly, a group of people walked to the cattle and horse market.

The strong smell of urine rushed straight to her forehead, causing Anna to cover her little nose with a look of disgust.

Was about to turn away.

A cry made Li Hongbing stop.

"Brother Li, brother Li, I've seen you from afar, and you'll leave as soon as you get to the door, and you won't come in for a sit down."

Looking back, a big black-faced man walked over with a smile.

room three.

The largest cattle dealer in Niuma City, the original owner of Black Horn.

Li Hongbing weighed Anna in his arms, "The girl is not used to the taste of animals."

Fang San saw Anna's chubby little face and liked it very much, so he reached out and wanted to pinch it.

Woohoo!

Da Hua rushed to Li Hongbing with the other wolf dogs, grinning and showing sharp fangs, warning strangers not to approach.

Fang San was startled.

Quickly took a few steps back, as a livestock dealer who often buys and sells in various places, he can see the details of Dahua and them at a glance.

These four are clearly wolves, and their skeletons are as big as a dirt dog before they grow up. If they reach adulthood, they will be fine.

"Brother Li, they are... wolves."

"It's a wolf dog, a Czech wolf dog." Li Hongbing smiled meaningfully.

"That's right, it's a wolfhound, it's rare in forest areas!"

Understanding the meaning of the words, Fang San quickly cooperated with the remedy, and at the same time directed the conversation to Shan Xing and Sister Cui, teasingly said.

"Hey, my daughter brought me out to the market, who is the younger brother and sister! Or are they both?"

spit!
Shan Xing and Cui sister blushed immediately.

"Third brother, you really..." Li Hongbing smiled, "Where did you buy the goods this time?"

When talking about business, Fang San's eyes lit up.

Isn't the man in front of you a rich man? Last time he bought a pan goat for 1 yuan, he didn't even blink when he paid for it.

"There must be good goods. I just came back from Mongolia. I have sheep and horses. Come in and have a look."

There are horses!

Li Hongbing, who was not interested at first, immediately became interested when he heard about Arima.

Two days ago in the meadow, he was thrown grass clippings by the black corner, so he planned to change his car.

Riding a galloping horse is more interesting than riding a three-wheeled motorcycle.

Then he followed Fang San into the cattle and horse market.

First came to a barn. In the shed was a group of sheep with white hair and short tails. Smelling the smell of big flowers, they huddled together in horror and screamed.

"Brother, tell your wolfdogs to take them in, don't scare the animals out." Fang San looked at the big flowers near the sheepfold.

Li Hong lowered her head, "Da Hua, stand far away."

"Hey, there are a lot of sheep and sheep." Anna didn't care about the unpleasant smell of urine, and her thoughts were all in the sheep pen.

Fang San gave an eloquent introduction.

"Brother Li, these are small-tailed Han sheep with a weight of 40 catties for three months. They are alive and disease-free, with a high yield rate and good meat quality. They can give birth to cubs in a year, 2 to 3 litters a year, and can give birth to up to 7 sheep at a time. Cub, definitely a cornucopia where money makes money."

Originally Li Hongbing planned to watch horses, but after hearing Fang San's introduction, he couldn't help becoming interested in sheep. There are many people in his family and he consumes a lot of meat.

Usually, there are only two channels to buy fresh meat, either go to the village to buy the meat raised by the villagers, or come to the town to buy it.

The former pays less, and the villagers don’t say that they have ideas in their hearts. If they pay too much, they will be taken advantage of.

Why not raise it yourself?

Just like raising jute chicken, you can eat it whenever you want, and if you modify it with your own power, the quality of the meat will never be bad.

"How do you sell the sheep?"

coming.

Fang San secretly rejoiced, "1100 for a single piece, and 1000 for the wholesale quantity."

The stroke is equivalent to 25 yuan a catty of wool.

Li Hongbing thought about it, looked up at Fang San, "I want 100 small-tailed Han sheep, 900 yuan each, as long as ewes, can I sell it?"

hiss!
Fang San took a deep breath.

Normally, farmers would buy a lot of them individually. Li Hongbing bought 100 at once. When did a big boss come out in the forest area.

He took out the calculator and pressed it randomly.

"Okay, but I only have 40 ewes here now, but I have to pay half of the sheep's money first, and the rest of the sheep will arrive in two days, and I will send them to you."

"If you only buy ewes, you won't be able to reproduce. If you breed other sheep, the meat production rate will not be guaranteed."

Fang San's kind reminder was nothing to Li Hongbing.

There is a scum sheep in the family, so what can I do if I just eat but not produce, 100 ewes are enough for it to make its own contribution to the family.

"The price is fine." Li Hongbing nodded, and asked again, "Do you have any piglets here?"

No wonder my eyelids twitched early this morning.

It turned out to be to make money.

Fang San smiled like a flower.

"It must be. I have foreign white pigs and local black pigs. Which one do you want? Eat it yourself. I recommend buying local black pigs. Although they grow slowly, the meat is delicious. Foreign white pigs are fooling people in the city. The meat grows fast, and it tastes disgusting."

"What's the price of local black pigs?" Li Hongbing nodded.

"20 catties of piglets cost 600 yuan a head. The price is indeed a bit high, but there is no way around it. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer black pigs raised in forest areas, and the price of piglets is high."

Li Hongbing understands that the scarcity of local black pigs has two disadvantages, one is fat and the other is full of meat.

In the past, the living conditions were poor and there was little oil and water. When people ate meat, they liked to eat fat meat, and their mouths were filled with oil. Lean meat was the worst meat, and no one wanted it if it was cheap.

However, the lean meat production rate of local pigs is extremely low. A catty of meat can only produce 3 taels of lean meat, leaving white fat. Almost negligible.

With the progress of the times, living conditions gradually improved.

People don't like to eat fatty meat anymore, but start to prefer lean meat.

Now the local black pig was embarrassed, and his status plummeted.

At this time, foreign pigs were introduced into the country, with the advantages of eating less, growing fast, and having more lean meat. They quickly occupied the pork market and squeezed the local black pigs to the point of extinction.

However, no matter how good foreign pigs are, in terms of meat quality, local black pigs always occupy the top spot.

"I want Tuhei pigs, 20 males and 20 females."

My dear mother, be good!
Hearing the number, Fang San's legs almost went limp.

100 sheep and 40 pigs are worth 12.

Shouldn't you be making fun of me.

"Brother Li, is your family planning to engage in breeding?"

"No, I feed meat." Li Hongbing shook his head.

Ok!

Buy more than 100 pigs and sheep just to eat meat.

When did such a rich man pop up in the forest area?

Fang San had nothing to say.

"Calculate, how much is it?" Li Hongbing took out his mobile phone.

Fang San took out his calculator, muttering, pressing his fingers.

"100 small-tailed Han sheep, 900 yuan each, a total of 9 yuan, 40 local black pigs, 600 yuan each, a total of 2 yuan, a total of 4 yuan."

"I'll give you 6 yuan first, and when the animals arrive, I'll settle the balance for you." Li Hongbing handed Anna to Shan Xing and transferred the money with his mobile phone.

"Okay, I like to do business with the cool people."

Fang Sanle raised his eyebrows, this business can earn at least 30%.

After transferring the money, Li Hongbing looked around. Most of them were stalls selling chicken, duck, sheep and pigs, and there were no horses as Fang San mentioned.

"Where's the horse?"

"Come with me in the aftermarket." Fang San led the way with a smile on his face, and walked to the back of the cattle and horse market.

San Pao moved to Li Hongbing's side, "Brother, after buying so many animals, are you going to raise them?"

Li Hongbing cast an ignorant look.

"What kind of breeding are you doing? You eat it yourself. You have already returned to the countryside. You can't let your niece eat fodder meat!"

Bullish.

Really bullish.

Just to let her daughter eat safe meat, she even bought hundreds of animals at one go.

Sanpao felt that people in the city were pretentious, and it would be good to eat meat, so he was picky.

"Then you have to raise it! It costs a lot of money to feed coarse grains, and there are many wild animals in the mountains, so someone has to take care of them."

Li Hongbing swept his fingers over the big flowers.

"The meadow is so big, what kind of coarse grains to feed, there are big flowers and they are there, I don't believe there are wild animals who dare to come down the mountain."

Three Pao pouted, that means you can order Da Hua to work.

Mad, why didn't I pay for them and bought them.

talk talk talk talk.

A group of people walked to the back of the cattle and horse market, and their eyes suddenly opened up. A large earthen yard appeared in front of everyone, and the yard was divided into simple fences.

Cattle, donkeys, horses, mules and other livestock are kept in the fence, and many farmers are bargaining with stall owners.

Li Hongbing asked Xiang Sanpao in surprise, "Why didn't I know that there is still a future market for the cattle and horse market?"

San Pao had a fussy expression, "There must be a place to sell cattle and horses in the cattle and horse market. The front market is for selling small animals, and the back is for selling large animals."

"Then why don't you tell me?"

"You didn't ask."

"You won't tell me if I don't ask?"

"Why don't you tell me?"

The two old men bickered like children, Shan Xing and Cui Jie shook their heads and smiled wryly, but Anna watched with relish.

Fang San stopped in front of a fence, where more than a dozen cattle were locked up, and a capable man was cleaning up cow dung, when he saw Fang San appearing, he hurried to the fence, "Third brother, why did you come to Houshi. "

"The sheep in front have been rounded up by Brother Li." Fang San smiled and pointed at Li Hongbing behind him.

Round?

The capable man looked at Li Hongbing with deep curiosity in his eyes.

"Don't look, go and bring the horse brought back from Mongolia, and let Brother Li have a look."

"it is good."

The capable man nodded, turned around and walked towards a pine forest outside the arena.

After a while.

The capable man reappeared, holding two tall horses in his hands.

One black and one red.

The height at the shoulders is about 1 meters. The whole body is strong and well-proportioned, the limbs are muscular and strong, the chest is deep and broad, and the back and waist are straight.

Originally, the two big horses were led by capable men obediently, but when they suddenly smelled the breath from the wolfhounds, they suddenly became restless, shaking their heads and dragging and stretching the rope.

Especially the black horse, its tangled mane like weeds suddenly stood up, its tail drooping between its thighs was raised flat, the horse's head bounced high, its piercing eyes shone in amazement, and its mouth wrinkled| The lip, open and misplaced, evidently, it found the danger of extreme fright.

Ow!

The wolfhounds also noticed that the black horse was abnormal, Da Hua let out a low growl, and Er Hei, San Hui, and Xiao Bai immediately dispersed and attacked the black horse with encirclement tactics.

This time the dark horse was even more surprised.

With a hissing sound, the hind legs exerted strength, the upper body straightened, and the front legs waved up and down in the air, as if to warn the big flowers not to approach them.

It's difficult for a capable man, how strong the horse is when it goes crazy, pulling the rope with both hands, and dragging it a few meters away.

The other red horse didn't go mad, but was so frightened that it stood there, not daring to move, with its head down, its eyes fixed on the wolfhound, and a low whine from its nose.

The cows, horses, donkeys, and mules held in the nearby pens also howled in the pens one by one after receiving the fear signal from the black horse.

All of a sudden, the entire cattle and horse market was in chaos.
